Mergers and Acquisitions Practice

Identification of Potential Partners

Confidentiality is a top priority at CSA Research.

CSA Research’s in-depth understanding of the dynamics of the industry – coupled with the trust companies have in the confidentiality of our M&A process – is key in helping companies get better bids, fair prices, and better fit.

We thoroughly vet companies interested in and committed to buying or selling in horizontally or vertically. We help you improve the target company’s performance, gain access to new markets, acquire needed skills or technologies, exploit scalability, and improve competitive positioning.

Interested in an acquisition or merger? 2018 set a new record for M&A deals, but there were many more that didn’t close – most of the 195 companies in our annual ranking told us they had been contacted by someone wanting to buy them or that they themselves had expressed interest in buying another company.
